DIY Forks for Your Tractor and Skid Steer: $10

Turn a tractor or skid steer into an all terrain forklift!

Improved design and updated plans. Along with CAD and 3D drawings, it now also includes a material list, how to manual, and numerous diagrams to make construction simple. It is thorough and simple to follow.

Minimal parts needed: 10 parts per fork need to be made, mostly straight saw cuts. 15 parts in total. 11 through 15 are purchased (Nuts, bolts, etc.)

The forks are designed to be built with common tools, so you don't have to own a fabrication or machine shop to build them. These forks are not beyond the skill set of the average DIY craftsman using common tools.
